Implementation Reference

• src/utils/project-tools.ts:66-108 (handler)

  Handler function for the 'gcp-utils-get-project-id' tool. Retrieves the current project ID (preferring state manager, falling back to getProjectId()), recent project IDs, and returns formatted markdown response or error.
  async () => { try { // Get the current project ID from the state manager first let projectId = stateManager.getCurrentProjectId(); // If not available in state manager, try to get it from auth if (!projectId) { projectId = await getProjectId(); } const recentProjectIds = await getRecentProjectIds(); let markdown = `# Current Google Cloud Project\n\nCurrent project ID: \`${projectId}\`\n\n`; if (recentProjectIds.length > 0) { markdown += "## Recently Used Projects\n\n"; for (const id of recentProjectIds) { markdown += `- \`${id}\`${id === projectId ? " (current)" : ""}\n`; } } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: markdown, }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { logger.error( `Error in get-project-id tool: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `# Error Getting Project ID\n\nFailed to get project ID: ${error.message}`, }, ], }; } },
• src/utils/project-tools.ts:60-65 (schema)

  Schema definition for the 'gcp-utils-get-project-id' tool, specifying title, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required).
  { title: "Get Project ID", description: "Get the current Google Cloud project ID and recent project history", inputSchema: {}, },
• src/utils/project-tools.ts:58-109 (registration)

  MCP server tool registration call for 'gcp-utils-get-project-id', including name, schema, and handler.
  server.registerTool( "gcp-utils-get-project-id", { title: "Get Project ID", description: "Get the current Google Cloud project ID and recent project history", inputSchema: {}, }, async () => { try { // Get the current project ID from the state manager first let projectId = stateManager.getCurrentProjectId(); // If not available in state manager, try to get it from auth if (!projectId) { projectId = await getProjectId(); } const recentProjectIds = await getRecentProjectIds(); let markdown = `# Current Google Cloud Project\n\nCurrent project ID: \`${projectId}\`\n\n`; if (recentProjectIds.length > 0) { markdown += "## Recently Used Projects\n\n"; for (const id of recentProjectIds) { markdown += `- \`${id}\`${id === projectId ? " (current)" : ""}\n`; } } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: markdown, }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { logger.error( `Error in get-project-id tool: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `# Error Getting Project ID\n\nFailed to get project ID: ${error.message}`, }, ], }; } }, );
• src/utils/auth.ts:155-271 (helper)

  Key helper function 'getProjectId()' invoked by the tool handler. Determines project ID from multiple fallback sources: state manager, environment variable, service account file, config, or GoogleAuth client.
  export async function getProjectId(requireAuth = true): Promise<string> { try { // First check the state manager (fastest and most reliable method) const stateProjectId = stateManager.getCurrentProjectId(); if (stateProjectId) { logger.debug(`Using project ID from state manager: ${stateProjectId}`); return stateProjectId; } // Next check environment variable if (process.env.GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT) { logger.debug( `Using project ID from environment: ${process.env.GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}`, ); // Store in state manager for future use await stateManager.setCurrentProjectId(process.env.GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT); return process.env.GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT; } // Check if we have credentials file and try to extract project ID from it if (process.env.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS) { try { const credentialsPath = process.env.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS; logger.debug( `Attempting to read project ID from credentials file: ${credentialsPath}`, ); if (fs.existsSync(credentialsPath)) { const credentialsContent = fs.readFileSync(credentialsPath, "utf8"); const credentials = JSON.parse(credentialsContent); if (credentials.project_id) { logger.debug( `Found project ID in credentials file: ${credentials.project_id}`, ); // Store in state manager for future use await stateManager.setCurrentProjectId(credentials.project_id); return credentials.project_id; } } } catch (fileError) { logger.warn( `Error reading credentials file: ${fileError instanceof Error ? fileError.message : String(fileError)}`, ); // Continue to next method } } // Next check if we have a configured default project ID try { await configManager.initialize(); const configuredProjectId = configManager.getDefaultProjectId(); if (configuredProjectId) { logger.debug(`Using project ID from config: ${configuredProjectId}`); // Store in state manager for future use await stateManager.setCurrentProjectId(configuredProjectId); return configuredProjectId; } } catch (configError) { logger.warn( `Config error: ${configError instanceof Error ? configError.message : String(configError)}`, ); // Continue to next method } // Fall back to getting it from auth client try { logger.debug("Attempting to get project ID from auth client..."); const auth = await initGoogleAuth(requireAuth); if (!auth) { logger.warn("Authentication client not available"); if (requireAuth) { throw new Error( "Google Cloud authentication not available. Please configure authentication to access project ID.", ); } return "unknown-project"; } logger.debug("Auth client available, requesting project ID..."); const projectId = await auth.getProjectId(); if (!projectId) { logger.warn("Auth client returned empty project ID"); if (requireAuth) { throw new Error( "Could not determine Google Cloud project ID. Please set GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variable or use the set-project-id tool.", ); } return "unknown-project"; } logger.debug(`Got project ID from auth client: ${projectId}`); // Store in state manager for future use await stateManager.setCurrentProjectId(projectId); return projectId; } catch (authError) { logger.warn( `Auth error while getting project ID: ${authError instanceof Error ? authError.message : String(authError)}`, ); if (requireAuth) { throw authError; } return "unknown-project"; } } catch (error) { logger.error( `Project ID error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, ); if (requireAuth) { throw error; } return "unknown-project"; } }
